I have retraced the final agonising 100m of Dr Michael Mosley's fateful walk. He was so close and appears to have left the marked path in a desperate bid to get help. The spot where he collapsed is on the right by the fence. I did not go there out of respect to an incredible man.

I don't often cry. I am now. The former husband of Bulgarian journalist Viktoria Marinova who was raped and murdered has just asked me for a favour as he and their daughter prepare for her funeral tomorrow. "Please do a good deed for a stranger, she would like that". I will.
